I've seen the site Laserdisc Master posted. It's old stuff.
Infognition site, well, that's old, of course... what's about the PaNup technique? Spend two minutes to register, and five to read it, and let me know what do you think.
About SuperResolution: when used to upscale a previously downscaled (by power of 2 only), there is no resizer that is able to reconstruct details like SuperResolution can do - try it for yourself using any clip from Infognition, or just downscale any video by 50%... so, it has its advantages, that, accompanied with careful chosen filter, and/or coupled with other upsize method, delivers a very good result.
On one thing we agree: "we" (the community) need to state which is the best (apart SR, of course) upscaling method, and then use it as THE comparison... but the fact that there is (and never will be) no perfect upscaler (some reveal details, while adding aliasing, another is a bit too blurry, the other has halos) will not help... so, at the end, it's not to find out which is the absolute best, but which is the best compromise, and here we are talking also by subjective POV...
Well, now let me come back to my "pefect upscale method" I'm developing... CSI, I'm coming! (^^/)
